This paper attempts to give an interpretation of communicative competence by a comparative approach,internally and externally.It first examines the internal components of communication competence as formulated by Hymes and Canale & Swain,and then explores the possible relationship between linguistic competence and communication competence by comparing and constrasting the two.Our conclusion is that linguistic competence is the foundation for communicative competence and the latter is a further development of the former.
